Trapped space charges in epoxy composite distort the electric field, which will induce the failure of the insulation system, and nano graphene oxide may inhibit the curing behavior of epoxy resin matrix. This paper analyzes how the two interfaces affect the electron traps of epoxy resin/graphene oxide systems with different nanofiller contents. The electron affinity energy of epoxy resin matrix and nano filler molecules in the epoxy resin/graphene oxide system is calculated based on quantum chemistry. It is found that nano graphene oxide has a strong electron affinity energy and is easier to capture electrons. Then the influence of the interface formed by the epoxy resin matrix and the nano graphene oxide on the electron transfer ability is calculated. The epoxy resin matrix contains the electron transfer ability of interfaces formed by nano graphene oxide and the molecular chain is different from that of unreacted molecules. The results can provide a reference for the modification of epoxy resin/graphene oxide nanocomposites.

In order to increase the thermal conductivity of neat epoxy resin and broaden its practical application in high-voltage insulation systems, we have constructed four kinds of epoxy resin nanocomposite models (a neat epoxy resin (EP), a graphene-doped epoxy resin nanocomposite (EP/GR) and hydroxyl- or carboxyl-functionalized graphene-doped epoxy resin nanocomposites (EP/GR-OH or EP/GR-COOH)) to systematically investigate their thermodynamic and electrical properties using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Compared with the EP model, carboxyl-functionalized graphene particles enhanced the thermal conductivity of the EP/GR-COOH model by 66.5% and increased its by 26.

Polymers are often insulators, but this not a universal intrinsic characteristic of all polymers. For this work, the adhesives used, epoxy and polyurethane, do demonstrate this insulating characteristic. However, there has been significant interest in the development of conductive polymers, specifically adhesives, because of the potential properties and ease of processing of these polymers.

Epoxy resin (EP) is an outstanding polymer material known for its low cost, ease of preparation, excellent electrical insulation properties, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. It is widely used in high- and ultra-high-voltage power transmission and transformation equipment. However, as voltage levels continue to increase, EP materials are gradually failing to meet the performance demands of operational environments.

The poor interlaminar fracture toughness is a critical limiting factor for the structural applications of aramid fiber/epoxy resin composites. This study investigates the effects of laser-induced graphene (LIG) and short Kevlar fibers on the interfacial toughness and damage detection of aramid composite materials. Mode II tests and tensile tests were conducted to evaluate mechanical properties and damage detection using the piezoresistive characteristics of LIG.
